We might have here some co-operation! Sythric's only goal would be Calimehtar, and Brand - even making his resurrection in some miraculous way, could not be getting up at the same pace as Syrthric would - as he started up first... Protecting Vaenosa could have taken some time from Sythric, but still? Well Arry has written Brand to take on Calimehtar...

It might have some poetic justice, that Sythric would come after Brand's blow, and kind of finish off Calimehtar... - blowing him off the saddle - just after Brand's blow, just making it very bad from his (Calimehtar's) point of view? But as he should be be left alive - and get a way, we should leave him get a horse and beat it...

I guess we need to see Child's post to figure out this scene to the end...
